The True Name

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj was asked why the words Satnam--the True Name--were always written as an introduction to his hymns.

He replied, 'The Name is the God of all gods. Some propitiate Durga, some Shiv, some Ganesh, and some other gods; but the Guru's Sikhs worship the True Name and thus remove all obstacles to salvation. Accordingly, the prefatory words, the True Name, are written in all compositions. '
